We apologize for not being able to process your request. This letter is to inform you that we did not receive the necessary information to process your request for an extension from § 12 1.311(b) of Title 14 , Code ofFederal Regulations (14 CFR).
You provided the following information:

" Hello, We received a card in the mail saying that exemption No: 10987 from 14CFR(FAR sectionPart 121.311(b)(2)(iii)(B) (sic) will expire on 5/3112016. I would like to file an extension for this exemption on behalf of our son Tijs D. Mattson
. Thank you, Anette Mattson" 

### Why We Cannot Process Your Request Unfortunately, your request for an extension is incomplete. The above information does not comply with the requirements of§ 11.81 (copy enclosed)
. 

### In order for the FAA to process an extension of an existing exemption, with slight changes , the information required is almost the same as the information provided in the original request. 

### How Do I resubmit My Completed Application? For the FAA to consider your request any further , please visit http: / /kidsflysafe.com/instructions /cares-for-special-needs-flyers/ and scroll down until you see the template that you need and paste that information into a letter, fill in all ofthe necessary blanks and bold items and after you finish the letter go to the FDMS at www.regulations .gov and type your docket number (FAA-2014-02 13) to open your docketand then upload your letter
. Please make sure that you select the correct template for your extension request. 

### How Long Will It 

### Take For FAA To Complete My 

### Request? 2

Once the FAA receives your complete request, processing the extension (technical analysis , a decision regarding a grant or denial ofthe extension and transmitting the grant or denial to you) typically takes about 45-60 days. When the FAA grants this type ofextension, it is usually effective for five years. 

### What If

### I Need To Travel Before FAA Finishes My 

### Request? ln the event that you may wish to take your first flight before we are able to process completely your request for an extension, we wanted to give you some information and options so you can make informed choices regarding your travel. Ifa child exceeds the weight limit or the height limit for CARES, FAA regulations prohibit the use ofCARES during taxi, takeoffand landing on U.S. aircraft. However, even if a child exceeds 44 pounds or 40 inches, he or she can use CARES anytime except for taxi, takeoff and landing (which means there is no regulation that prohibits use of CARES during cruise flight). You may also wish to think about using an FAA Approved CRS that can accommodate a larger child
. Air carriers are required to allow the use ofapproved CRS ifa child is within the approved weight and height requirements and a ticket has been purchased for the child. The FAA does not recommend any particular CRS, but there are some webs ites where you can fmd CRSs (approved for use in automobiles and aircraft) that can be used with children up to 150 pounds and five feet tall and I have also attached the websites at the end of this letter
. The FAA considers anyone who has not reached their 18th birthday to be a child for the purpose of our regulations regarding CRSs; therefore, a child could use a CRS that accommodates their weight and height on any US airline until they turn 18 years ofage. 

### What You Should Do Now? Ifyou want us to process your extension request any further, you must send the information described earlier to reach us within 30 days. We will consider the docket on your request open until we receive the required information from you. Please note that§ 11.63(d) requires you to send your petition for exemption at least 120 days before the proposed effective date of the extension. Also, we encourage you to contact your airline ofchoice well in advance of your travel so that you can become familiar with its related operational procedures. If

### We Do Not Hear From You If we do not hear from you within 30 days, we will close the docket without notifying you further. If you have any questions or require additional time, you may call (202) 267-7977.Again, we apologize for not being able to process your request and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
